The artist has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the band would give their prize money to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, musician the artist split her bounty across a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the community center that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected several small stages in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the second in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
